Koi Pierce, a half-baku, visits Japan looking for answers and finds an impossible choice.
With the help of powerful new friends, Koi defeated her dragon enemy in Portland. Now, no longer able to deny her dream-eating powers or the real reason for her father's mental decline, she flies to Tokyo with her new Kitsune love, Ken, and the trickster Kwaskwi, seeking answers. But secrets from Ken's past and Kind politics threaten to unravel their newfound trust and someone in Tokyo is desperate to kidnap a Baku. Koi must untangle a long history of pain and deceit in order to save her father, an imprisoned dragon, and herself.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Lincoln's action-packed second Portland Hafu novel (after Dream Eater), sarcastic teen Koi Pierce and her father travel to Japan to find a cure for his dream-fog and are caught between the two leading factions in supernatural politics, the Council and the Eight Span Mirror. Dream-eating baku such as Koi and her father are almost extinct, and both factions are determined to control the baku's ability as they clash over the future of the powerful Black Pearl. Lincoln's world features fascinating beings from Japanese mythology, but the lack of exposition makes the setting and mythos confusing at times. Koi's wry insights are entertaining as she uncovers the truth about why her father left Japan and struggles with the realization that her crush, Ken, might not be as trustworthy as she thought. The remainder of the cast are plain by comparison. This is a fun urban fantasy with a superb, authentically teenage heroine whose adventures are best appreciated by readers who start with book one.
